IMPL dolls Star, Model & Idol Discussion 16

Most of the Switch boy heads I was thinking of are listed for 10.5-11cm necks to fit their 65-70cm bodies. There's about a cm difference between the impldoll body and the switch 64cm one, but I think even that has the option for a 9cm neck, so Huisa should fit fine on the impldoll body!

 

I have that body and a Switch Yozo head I plopped on there. The proportions are very nice and the head can move perfectly. There's a tiny bit of gapping in the back but pretty much any wig can cover it up perfectly fine. I just made an imgur link because the photos were too big and I didn't feel like compressing them. I hope this helps! Your head may be slightly bigger than my yozo so it could look slightly bobble headed but with a wig it probably doesn't matter.

(Also I love my muscle body it looks gorgeous and is a great poser so good choice!)

 

I checked again and Huisa D is for max 65cm bodies, so probably the neck isn't gonna be a huge mismatch. At worst the neck is gonna look on the thinner side compared to the head but not too hidehous (since their female matching body has a 9.4cm neck and it's not so different from 9cm). I have a very specific idea for the body shape and for now this is definitely the best body I found that matches my aesthetic/budget and proportion match (looking at the official measurments at least).

Thank you so much! This is really helpful, it doesn't look bad at all and it fits better than I thought! I checked and Huisa head should be a little smaller than Yozo, so I'm pretty sure it's gonna look fine.
The gap in the back is not a big issue since I planned a longer wig, so it should be covered in the end.
Does it pose well? I love bodies that pose well, so this is a plus.
I guess I'll try my luck as soon as I have the funds for it, now the only thing I have to find out is the resin match (mine is rosy white, so I guess a cream white or something like that)

 

The posing is really solid I really enjoy how the newer impldoll bodies pose. I have two model bodies for a reason... I don't think it's as amazing as the heydoll 58cm body but still v nice. They have a mia white match which as I recall is a decent match for switch rosy white. The body may be less pink than the head though.

 

Heydoll 58 body is just another league in posing, it's still the best body I own. But until the body is a nice poser I'm a happy collector! So knowing that the IMPL muscle body poses nicely is a super boost to my decision to get it!
My head is a little older, I should check the COA but it's for sure 4/5 years old at least, so the pink probably faded and it shouldn't be that far off with a more creamy color. Anyway, with a faceup the difference won't be that big.

 

Okay, I need some recommendations for clothing and wigs. I got a Plaice secondhand, and the poor guy didn’t come with any clothes or hair.

I thought the no clothes wouldn’t be an issue, but being new to IMPL, I didn’t realize how drastically different his sizing is compared to the other Idol sized clothing I have from other companies (him being the larger one), and I’d prefer to try to find something stateside before jumping back into the international shipping situation. It’s a miracle my last international order made it here in one piece at all as someone had a field day going through it. Wigs, I am totally at a loss on. I tried searching the marketplace for either option, but only came up with maybe one or two options for clothing that were like what I was looking for that hadn’t sold already.

Any suggestions?

 

Impldoll has notoriously small heads, I find especially if you are leery of buying overseas keep an eye out for those cheaper fur wigs. They can be easily cut and sewn to fit the head nicely. I did that for Korone and it worked like a charm.

 

Do you know of some good Facebook groups I could join for it? Or where I’d look on Instagram? I’m not totally against international, I just don’t want the nightmare situations I was reading about on feedback for sellers that are even just 99.9% or 99.7% positive where they’d ordered wigs like the size I need annnd got the totally wrong item…. And the seller was arguing with them about it. I couldn’t find any that were 100% It sucks cause the one wig I absolutely wanted was from a seller with that sort of feedback.

I’m definitely open to making some clothes for him, I just usually have something to use for a reference point or pattern to compare to first

 

@WinterSong I've found some decent clothing through MoonlightBJD for my Idol man. They carry clothing for 72-75cm dudes in different styles. Unfortunately they're Canadian but they do ship to the US. Also I have a lot of basic clothing so if you need some basics I can put a lot together for you.

 

I’ve newly joined Impldoll ownership — bought an Aries from someone on here second hand. He needs some work but I am loving this guy so much. I’ve never owned a doll this huge even though I’ve wanted a huge doll since forever. And I love his horns

The resin colour is gorgeous. I thought he’d be pretty yellowed from the pictures in the listing and was planning to either do a de-yellowing dye process or go with something crazy, but those plans were immediately axed the moment I unpacked a few pieces of resin. The seller said he was Real Skin — it’s darker than most NS, but not as dark as some tan dolls I’ve seen. Seems like it’s something in between, idk I really like it.

Wasn’t sure how I would feel about the sculpted hair in person. Figured if I hated it, it could be modded to accommodate a wig. I don’t dislike it though and will at least try to customize it before making that decision.

I will probably have to wait for the fall before I redo his face-up/hair, the humidity has been way too high all summer to use MSC. As I mentioned before, he also needs some work — there was a modification added to his neck that I want to remove. I’ve never sewn male clothing either so that will be a new venture as well.

This guy might need his own project journal thread.

Lastly, my housemate seems to love this guy too. Said he’s jealous of his ass (Third Generation Body)

 

Congrats @Leenah on your first Impldoll! Aries is a handsome one too!

I used to own an Impldoll Aldrich, back in 2013, but sold him to reshell the character into the actual sculpt I wanted (ot for this thread). I do still own the head of my Impldoll Azalea, she’s on a different company body now because I didn’t like the Star SGB from Impldoll, it felt too stiff. I’ve owned her since 2016 (she just had her gotcha date a week ago!), but I upgraded her body last year and this year I changed it again, to a smaller one as her jawline was too narrow for the 2D Doll 68cm girl body (she’s on the 2D Doll 64cm V2 body now). I need to get a pic of her with my Moira.

Speaking of my Azalea, here’s a quick photo of her after her latest body upgrade, and repainting her again sooner than thought. I do really love her proportions on this body though!

 

Sorry sorry sorry for not responding sooner. Things have been crazy. Just love this extreme heatwave we’ve been having here It cooled off only to not be able to go outside cause of absolutely horrible air quality. Is it bad I’m totally clueless on what basics are??

 

Sorry to bump this topic, but I really want to show off my Madeline. I just finished her new wig and I wanted to share her new look.


Now all she needs is a faceup, but that will have to wait until next summer.

 

@Zacarias No need to apologize for bumping a thread with new content. It's what we're here for!

 

I love Madeline! I have 2 myself!!

 

Hello! I took pics of my Wasp. She is impldoll kamara. I like her face so much, she's so cute and interesting!

 

I love Kamara too ...and Moira! Your girl is lovely, thanks for sharing her photo

 

Thank you so much!
Oh, Moira I find her so beautiful in any skintone

 

I have both of those girls! And Eudora.

Kathy P on Instagram: "Molan lets herself in early to Ji Cheon’s apartment now that he gave her the passcode. She finds him asleep. He was so naive when they met but she’s been training him to be her best lover. She sighs to see him lying there with his chest exposed. “So gorgeous!” she whispers to herself. She can’t help but touch his bare hip which wakes him right up. He tells her the plan for their date. They will go to an amusement park because she mentioned loving amusement parks on their first date. She is very happy that he remembered. But the amusement park’s not open yet. He suggests they rest until 10. She giggles shyly. She has created a hot, savvy guy! #impldollmoira #dollitsjicheon #sartoriajbody #dollstory #bjd #bjdsofinstagram"

Is Impldoll phasing out their Model line? Alice's Collections no longer offers it and their own website has most of the heads listed as sold out.

 

Recently I think they've released some new bodies, and some of their old models have been discontinued.

 

I finally got around to painting my Sini!


I’m not sold on the applied eyelashes yet, so I might swap them to other white ones I got…

 

What a beauty!! I like tanned dolls with white eyelashes so much!

I have Eudora too! I think she has different type of face. She is more serious I guess

I want to show my Eudora. I call her Firefly

 

So pretty. Love her outfit too.

I just bought a secondhand Eudora in tan. My second! Estimate for arrival is tomorrow!! Her future boyfriend (The Voice Sun) is so excited!

 

@captain_panda thank you so much! I love ale eyelashes on tan dolls too, it’s such a nice aesthetic. Also your girl is gorgeous!

 

I love the white eyelashes so much!!!

 

Got my Eudora today, wiped her, and repainted her. I used recently made eyes by me. Let me know if this doesn’t work for you.
Kathy P on Instagram: "A head came today! My second #impldolleudora. So they will be sisters. I wiped the faceup she came with and repainted her. This one was In Guk’s Christmas wish. He felt so alone this holiday season that I caved. She is wearing the new grey eyes I made. Love them on her. Looks like she is just as ready for this relationship! #newbjd #dollsisters #faceupday #newdollcouple"

 

She's lovely! I so want an Impldoll! Kamara and Moira were on my wish list but Eudora looks beautiful too!

 

Eudora is a wonderful sculpt!! Mine ended up a man, but I’ve been lowkey considering a second for a while now

 

Hello! Can anyone share their opinion on the IMPL Doll body (75 cm male)?
Is it stable, easy to pose, and are there any issues?
Thank You!

 

Wow! I love the styling, gorgeous. Can I ask where you got the skirt from? So flow-y.

 

Thank you! ❤️
I sewed this outfit by myself

 

@fanni.finn - Are you looking specifically at impldoll's body? I have an Idol body (72 cm) but I can compare it to DFA and Ringdoll's newer 75 cm bodies if you're looking for general handling and posing questions. TBH, The newer 75cm bodies look much the same as other companies, but just considering the features they've put on the new body I think it'll be somewhat easy to handle, but not crazy flexible. The thigh joints and the (lack) of torso jointing makes me think "Solid standing and posing, but not good at sitting/lounging".

 

I got my Impl 61/Plump in recently and I wanted to give a heads-up for those interested in it or just looking for others' thoughts on her.

I had a pretty horrible time with my Impl Model body, I posted about it here too - she came in damaged and missing items after taking many, many more months to arrive than I was promised (and reassured) it would. I am very happy to say this wasn't the case this time. She arrived within about 3-ish months (10-25 - 01-26) and my only complaint this time would be that mine came with shine and scuff marks all over, but compared to last time this doesn't bother me one bit.

My remarks on the body itself would be that if sitting or more complex standing poses (in heels) is important to you - she probably wouldn't be my first choice. The weight of the doll makes her ankles buckle inwards which makes her very unsteady and stands a high chance of damaging the shoes you put her in - it takes quite a while to make her stable and get her ankles to stay straight. Her upper thighs seem to hinder her ability to sit upright as well. I wont be keeping the Sini head but I will say the eyes are quite massive, my 14mm do not completely fill the sockets and it leaves gapping. I have seen others have a similar issue, I unfortunately do not have 16mm to try out; but be warned!

The positives of course come down to the body sculpting and over-all aesthetic, which I love! She's very cute. With how limited even remotely 'chubby' dolls are I think she does a good job without sacrificing too much of the posing capacity - her arms and legs (other than thighs) are comparable to their other bodies.

Clothing wise... yeah, it is kinda hard. I find that if its stretchy enough you can squeeze her into dresses/tops made for 'currently trending' larger 1/3 girls but pants are going to be hard. Most of the skirts I've got didn't fit her unless they were adjustable. Hopefully they get as popular as the other Impl bodies so we have more options!

 

Just whipping in here to say that I received my gorgeous Model 65 the other week and hybrided a CP/Luts Juri 05 onto it (with some difficulty - they are strung tight af, had to restring in order to get the Luts neck key on) and you know what. The size and colour match ain't bad at all!! Very happy overall - wish they did a long nail hand tho

 

My body has been shipped! Ordered Dec 1st 2025 and shipped March 1 2026! Hoping to have it in a week or so!

 

@Faerie_Soup So pretty and the contrast with black, white and her greyblue eyes is really appealingWhere did you get this dress from?

 

The dress is from TaoBao - here is the link!
